    Shi The Illustrated Warrior (2002 Crusade) 3A

    by Billy Tucci & Craig Shaw Gardner. Ana Ishikawa abandons her quest for vengeance and attempts to leave her tortured and murderous past behind. She begins a budding romance with police detective Peter DeNyse and is overjoyed by the unexpected arrival of her best friend, the vivacious and beautiful Tomoe Gozan. But, storm clouds have gathered overhead as Arashi, thirsting for revenge, brings in the most notorious off all assassins - the black-cloaked Nara Sohei. These ruthless warriors have dedicated their lives to the destruction of their centuries-old enemy, the Kyoto Sohei. And Ana has carelessly left behind several clues, all leading to her Kyoto lineage, and the Nara are sent to hunt down the Shi killer. This can only mean one thing: Ana Ishikawa, once the hunter, is now the hunted!

  • Issue #6A
    Shi The Illustrated Warrior (2002 Crusade) 6A

    by Billy Tucci with Craig Shaw Gardner The time of Battle is upon us. Ana Ishikawa dons the ancient Kyoto armor her mother had forsaken as she attempts to halt the Nara Sohei once and for all. One by one the Nara assassins are sought out and destroyed, and Shi will finally purge New York of such bloodshed. She will duel against the leader of the black-cloaked warriors atop the Queensborough/59th Street Bridge. But Ana's best friend, the lethally beautiful Tomoe, leads the Nara. Tomoe's mantra is that of the butterfly, and she wields her bladed war-fans in a delicate-but-deadly sweep of a song. Bound by honor, a broken-hearted Tomoe must deliver the head of Shi to the ruthless Yakuza crime lord, Masahiro Arashi. Stinging rain and striking lighting slash as embattled friends clash 400 feet above the East River in an incredible dance of death. There will be only one victor, but two lives will be destroyed. The Illustrated Warrior combines the best aspects of New York Times best-selling author Craig Shaw Gardner's novelized verse and Shi creator Billy Tucci's dynamic and richly detailed illustrations. Warrior is based on the legendary Way of the Warrior story arc but with an added twist that forever alters the Shi universe we've all come to know. b&w (6 of 7) $2.99 Cover price $2.99.
